Biography:
Sister Gertrude felt blessed to have lived as a Presentation Sister, a call encouraged by her eighth grade teacher, Presentation Sister Yvonne Lowe. She was taught by Presentation Sisters and was drawn by their happiness and devotion to prayer and ministry life. Sister Gertrude ministered at Presentation Sister hospitals in laboratory and x-ray, and performed electro cardiograms and diathermy. She served at the Presentation Children's Home before beginning altar bread ministry at Presentation Convent. Sister remained active in prayer ministry until her death.
